HB 4143 - Prescription Drug Monitoring Program

New legislation was just passed in February 2018, along with a temporary rule enacted by the OHA in April 2018, that requires all dentists with an active Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration to register with the PDMP by July 1, 2018.

The Oregon Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) is a tool to help healthcare providers and pharmacists provide patients better care in managing their prescriptions. It contains information provided by Oregon-licensed retail pharmacies.

Oregon-licensed healthcare providers and pharmacists and their staff may be authorized for an account to access information from the PDMP system. Bordering state licensed healthcare providers may also be authorized for access accounts. By law their access is limited to patients under their care.

The program was started to support the appropriate use of prescription drugs. The information is intended to help people work with their healthcare providers and pharmacists to determine what medications are best for them.
